When they showed the clip of David being offed from Launch My Line, I was suddenly struck with the thought that he looked - somehow familiar.
Then it hit me

LJ is currently running a promotion where paid/permanant users can send a voucher for $10 to friends so they can purchase a Paid Account at a discount

I have 2 permanent accounts, so if anyone wants to have one sent to them, let me know.

Crossover:

On tonight's Better Off Ted - they were working on Hushaboom! And eating bananas- but they were not connected

(I seem to recall the reason Bullwinkle knew the formula for Hushaboom was because he ate the banana with the formula written on it, and he had an eidetic memory for anything he had ever eaten?? Anyone else remember if that's how it works?)

too much internet:

Jim and I are watching Attack of the show, and talking about the golden globe awards, someone used the term "It got 3 Noms." This caused Jim and I to turn to each other and say Nom, Nom, Nom....

Showing My Age:

When I heard about Operation Chokehold, I had the uncontrollable urge to play Alan Sherman's song from the 60's The - Let's All Call Up AT&T And Protest To The President March.

(Jim actually has an iphone, and I haven't heard him complaining yet - but our area is notorious for bad coverage, so maybe it just isn't any worse...)

Excuse me. *pokes Hollywood* But WTF have you been thinking?

When your movie is about a kid learning Kung-Fu, then the appropriate title is NOT "(The New) Karate Kid"!

I don't give a fiddler's fart if the premise is the same: non-Asian kid who's bullied by others learns martial arts to make his life better. It's Kung-Fu, not Karate!

Your Language Game fails its Stupid Saves.

Well, actually I came home on November 14th. :)

I had a great time visiting places familiar and new to me. :) It was fun going to the old neighborhoods, the old school and the places I only had a vague recollection of. :)

I had fun. :)

Don't know who they are; don't know when it was, but I've posted it before and I like the picture.

As the Solstice season rolls around, I spend part of my time missing my family (none of which I see anymore) and part of my time *so not* missing those days.

Robert Earl Keen has been getting a lot of play here, since Merry Christmas From The Family works for both kinds of day...

I am watching Launch My Line (because Chris and I decided to watch it as our show to make fun of together this season...) and I just heard someone say: "The bikini is going to be one piece."

Hmmmm.. what does the suffix "bi" mean to you?

OMG! Seltzer bottle vrs laptop disaster!
Thank god I have live in tech help!!!

Hi everyone!

The lovely Shelley has given me permission for this post, so thanks Shelley!
I've been going through my things and I have a few of David's films on DVD. I was going to put them on Ebay, but I thought I would ask if anyone here in the community would like them first (, since I know that everyone here is a huge fan of him, and sometimes some of the films can be tricky to get hold of. I don't really want anything for them, perhaps a little contribution towards postage. But I thought it would be nice to offer them to you guys first.

**FINAL EDIT Thu Dec 10 02:15:47 UTC 2009**

So there is the final update... Over the past day we have processed around 11 million jobs out of the 12 million that were in queue at that time. Please bear in mind that over this past day, more jobs for notifications are also created. So while the queue has been dropping, we are still not fully caught up at this point, due to backlog and new jobs. We have roughly 3 million jobs still pending that involve the notification system in some manner. We had hoped we could have fully cleared the queue in a day, but unfortunately we can't clear it too quickly, since we need the rest of the site to operate normally. From our current perspective on the amount of jobs that are left in queue, and how many it has processed thus far, we believe it will take around another 8 - 12 hours to process everything.

And finally some answers to some questions:
